Today you might have noticed the hashtag #WhyIWrite on your newsfeed. That’s because today is National Day on Writing! By using #WhyIWrite, writers across the country have shared why they are dedicated to their craft. Today, I shared why I write:

“If you want to be a writer, you must do two things: read a lot and write a lot.” ― Stephen King

“I wrote my first novel because I wanted to read it.” ― Toni Morrison

“Write hard and clear about what hurts.” ―Ernest Hemingway

“I’ve no idea where ideas come from and I hope I never find out; it would spoil the excitement for me if it turned out I just have a funny little wrinkle on the surface of my brain which makes me think about invisible train platforms.” ― J.K. Rowling

“If I waited for perfection… I would never write a word.” ― Margaret Atwood

How about you? Why do you love to write? What are you working on? Please share in the comments!
